Mrs. Grant’s Jewels.

[San Francisco Chronicle. General Grant looks younger and better than when he left the White House, but Mrs. Grant has fallen in flesh considerable. Her dress was of white satin, the entire skirt almost covered with superb flounces of point lace over a half yard deep, and headed with broad bands of peari passementeries. The waist cut low and her sholders covered with tulle. Clasping the gauzy kerchief in front where two diamonds brooches. She fairly glittered with gems. A parare of diamonds, the designs being small horse-shoes linked, and two large diamond stars gleamed in her hair, diamond and pearlea jings andfueoklace complete the'display, with a wide gold bracelet on one arm and a bunch of bangles of curious design on the other.

Mrs Senator Pendleton has return* ed to her Ohio home, where she is much beloved by the poor members of the congregation that worship in the little church on the hill near the Senator’s homestead. Last Christmas all the poor of the parish was sur * prised by a present of a turkey delivered by the grocer. No note of ex-

planation accompanied the gift, but the recipients, from long habit, knew where such attention to them came from. Luther said: “If a man is hot handsome at twenty, strong at thirty, learned at forty, and rich at fifty, he will never be handsome, strong learned or rich in this world." Luther, no doubt, struck the bull’s eye as far as beauty, strength and learning are concerned, but *e died before an office holder had acquired tbe art of suving $25,000 a year out of a salary of $2,000; hence, the remark about richer doesn’t fit now.—Norristown Herald.
